Valentine’s Day Beauty Looks Featuring LORION BEAUTY!

Elliot Mae

I'm Aly! Pleased to make your aquaintence!

This is part of a sponsored campaign with Lorion. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

It’s one of my favourite times of year again, friends! With Valentine’s Day only 9 days away, it’s time to start sharing some of my favourite beauty looks that are perfect for whatever it is you decide to do on V-day. Stay in, go out, lounge around in your pjs…for reals, these looks have got you covered (well maybe not for pj lounging..I tend to do that sans makeup and hair). I have been fortunate enough to partner with SO many amazing brands for this post.

GET EXCITED.

Lorion Beauty provided me with the most AMAZING curling wand that I used to create each and every one of my looks. Seriously – it’s so frickin’ versatile it’s unbelievable. I have two other curling wands and after using my Lorion wand, I literally threw them away (into the arms of my sister). My sister is happy (she always gets the products I’ve outgrown) and I’m on cloud 9 because..well..when you have perfect hair days and can literally create any look with one hair tool, it’s a pretty sweet situation. The curling wand is 1.25″ thick and heats up to 450 degrees, which is pretty amazing when you have naturally thick, unruly hair like I do. I haven’t used a curling want yet that has been able to create curls or waves that last all day for me, so this was an amazing find.

With Valentine’s day approaching you deserve to fall in love with your hair and skin – Lorion can help you do just that! Each hair tool comes with a manufacturer’s 3 year warranty when purchased from the manufacturer. In addition to that – Lorion’s use of diamond plate technology allow for even heating and faster styling that won’t damage hair. Lorion Curling Wands are clipless and have ceramic and diamond infused barrels (what’s that saying..? Oh yes..diamonds are a girl’s best friend!). Each curling wand comes with a complimentary glove for better control and safety! If you need even more of a reason to dash over to Lorion Beauty’s website and pick this beauty up for yourself, check out the versatile looks we created for Valentine’s Day below!

To complete our makeup looks, Roque Cozzette provided us with the most adorable brushes in the perfect Valentine’s Day Red.

I KNOW.

These brushes are vegan-friendly and so soft and beautiful. They’re by far my favourite brushes out of all of the ones I’ve collected throughout the years. Can you blame me? I used these beauties to create all of the beauty looks below – from applying foundation and contouring to my eyebrows, eyes, and lips!

In addition to hair and makeup tools, we were fortunate enough to try out some beauty products from Annabelle, Stila, Vasanti, Estee Lauder, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and Anna Sui, which made our Valentine’s Day pretty special and allowed us to create these stellar beauty looks that we hope you’ll love as much as we do!

Check out the looks below to see which products so you can re-create your favourite!

Alternating between curling away and towards your face will create natural looking curls and holding the hair on the curling wand for 10 seconds will create loose waves as opposed to tight spiral curls. This gives you an effortless and natural look.

Once complete, release top half of hair and repeat the previous two steps

Hairspray

Brush the top of your hair back as though you were putting it into a ponytail and pin it back

Take a 2″ section of curled hair from infront of your ear and braid it. Secure the braid.

Once braid is secured, pull braid over top of pulled-back hair and secure it with bobby pins on both sides

Unclip the pulled-back hair so it falls naturally around each side of the braided headband

Hairspray

Makeup

Eyes: Kat Von D Tattoo Liner; Stila Mile High Mascara

Lips: Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick in ‘Suggestive’

Vintage Goddess

I love me some gold and bronze colours! This is probably my favourite look and as you can see, it’s super versatile! Let’s get started:

Hair

This look is perfect if you’re getting ready after already having curled your hair with your Lorion Beauty curling wand earlier in the day. If you still need to curl your hair, follow the steps from the previous look. Once that’s completed:

Using a brush, run brush through curled hair for a soft, vintage feel

Gather hair on one side and secure with bobby pin at the nape of your neck, OR

Create a center part and let hair fall naturally on its respective sides.
